  "textContent": "Apple today announced that Foxconn will begin assembling some Mac mini computers at a factory in Houston, Texas later this year.\n\n\nIn an interview with _The Wall Street Journal_, Apple's operations chief Sabih Khan said U.S. assembly of some Mac mini units is part of the company's previously-announced commitment to invest $600 billion in the U.S. by August 2029.\n\nMac mini units assembled in the U.S. will primarily serve the U.S. market, while production will continue in Asia for orders abroad, according to Khan.\n\nAs the report notes, the Mac mini is a niche product for Apple, with research firm Consumer Intelligence Research Partners estimating that the desktop computer accounted for only 5% of Apple's global Mac sales last year. In 2024, the Mac mini received its first major redesign since 2010, along with M4 and M4 Pro chips.\n\nIn the U.S., the Mac mini starts at just $599, but customers must supply their own display, keyboard, and trackpad or mouse.\n\nApple began assembling its latest Mac Pro desktop computer in Texas in 2019, during U.S. President Donald Trump's first term, and the company's plan to begin assembling some Mac mini units in the U.S. comes during Trump's second term.\n\n_The Wall Street Journal_ also explored Apple's efforts to boost its U.S. chip production.\n\n\n\n\nApple plans to purchase more than 100 million chips from TSMC's Arizona factory this year, according to the company's global head of procurement David Tom.\n\nRelated Roundup: Mac mini\n\nTag: The Wall Street Journal\n\nBuyer's Guide: Mac Mini (Neutral)\n\nRelated Forum: Mac mini\n\n\nThis article, \"Apple Announces Plans to Begin Assembling Mac Mini in U.S. This Year\" first appeared on MacRumors.com\n\nDiscuss this article in our forums\n\n",
